I have read it, and the Bible certainly does make several references to parts of it. It is not part of our canon though, so I wouldn't suggest treating it as scripture. Reading it may help one better understand certain parts of Genesis though and certain customs of the early church, such as the Catholic tradition of women covering their heads so as to "keep power on them." One of the reasons for this was to prevent angels from lusting after them as the Grigori did. The practice was officially abolished in the Second Vatican Council though.

As a side note, I believe the book is part of Ethiopia's Canon, along with the book of Jubilee.

true the bible has parallel references, however, that in
and of itself, can not prove the book one way or the other.

The Song of Songs, or Song Of Solomon, and other Bible
passages, have their paralles outside the Bible,

As well as the Gilgamesh Epic, etc.., also parallel to a
certain extent the Bible.

So the whole trick is, because the Bible seems to agree
with certain Verses in the Book of Enoch, does that
actualy, prove it as true or false ---and again based on
such circumstantial evidence as that, does not prove it
one way or the other.

Like You said it was not cannonized, which I again believe
God caused to happen, and again, when the Apocrapha,
was with us for so long, God again caused it to be
removed.

When Jerome translated the Latin Vulgate, he himslef had
removed the apocrapha from it, only to have others put it
back after Him.


May Christ Richly Bless Those Who Love Him, Amen.
